Comic Con Wrap-up and Podcast!

We've returned from the our pilgrimage to Nerdhalla and we've got our long box's worth of stuff to talk about. On tap, we have Lars Hansen and his Nor Cal brother counterpart, Kjel in studio. Erik Wargo skypes in with his magical telepathy, or it could just be the skype. The three of us regale you with tales of jackassery from San Diego- the classiest city in the union.



Here it is, in mint condition- CHERRY SPITZ AFTER CON REPORT DEBRIEFING DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION DRAGON TIGER EDITION PODCAST 2009

As a bonus- here's a clip with me and Joe Kelly, writer of my newest favorite comic, Bad Dog


Werewolf bounty hunter and ex-preacher drunk bastard kick ass across the American Dream. What's not to like?








Here's some fun added details in regards to some of the stuff we cover in this podcast:



Racebending.com- This is pretty interesting information about the casting for the new Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action movie. Turns out it's going to be a mostly Anglo cast for a movie that's supposed to take place in essentially an Asian setting.

AND.......

Really? Seriously? How fucking cool is this!?



TRON BIKE FTW!


Let us know what you think. Until next time kiddos, stay classy.

Cherry Spitz Podcast 7/22/09- Comic Con Edition!



HO-LY CRAP kiddos. It's time for the annual pilgrimage to the Nerd-Mecca: the one, the only, COMIC CON!!!!

To kick off this annual trip to the unwashed sea of geekery in San Diego, we at Cherry Spitz give you this podcast. On hand, we have: Lars Hansen, Tim Gale, James Stebick, Erik Wargo (on Skype) and special guest Cousin Miles. This week we pull apart some good panels and some bad panels at this years Con. I know some of you have long drives ahead of you to get to San Diego so pop this baby in your car and start salivating over the inevitable dork-orgy (dorkgy?) that is coming your way. We also throw in some hating on random things and review a little bit more of MTV's immortal sketch comedy show, The State.

Get your podcast on right here- CHERRY SPITZ PODCAST 7/22/09

In other news, Cherry Spitz will be moving over to its own blogspot after Comic Con, but we'll keep you updated here until the move happens. There's nothing on the site right now, but if you want to bookmark it (please do), you can find all your Spitzy goodness over at http://www.cherryspitz.blogspot.com/

Gotta keep this short; I got a convention to invade! Check back here next time for my Comic Con wrap-up with interviews and quite possibly some video as well.

Stay frosty out there.

Catbus @ Comic Con


Hey art loving internets!
Kelly/DJ Poptart here.
If you are on the internet, maybe you like the same things I do. So of course you'll be at comic con this weekend, right? 
When you come to comic con, visit booth 5428. It's a little group of all girl animation artists who do pinup art.
That's right.
Girls
Drawin'
Girls. 



This is where you can get your hungry paws on some quality products I've crafted just for my fellow partynerds.
Like the D&D sticker set. Select your character from the 4 original classes. As kickass cartoon ladies, natrually.


Or the super limited SELECTA shirt. May the patron saint of DJ's guide you. There's only 19 of these left. After con the remainders will go up for grabs online. Watch this space!


And lastly we have the enigmatic Glowpocalypse envelopes. Each contains 3 unreleased images from an imaginary future. Numbered, only 25 made.
Remember, booth 5428. I'll be there ALL WEEKEND with my lady partners in artcrime. Come by and we can talk about cool things. 
Also, be on the lookout for CatBus's roving reporter Lighthouse on the con floor. He's got a camera, questions, and a lots of  moxie. 

Entrepreneur-ily yours,
poptart!

Cherry Spitz Podcast! 7/01/09

That's right! It's Wednesday, so we got a brand new podcast piping hot for your listening pleasure!



This week's main topic was: disturbing movies from the 80s.If you were a kid growing up in the 1980s then you are painfully aware of how movies for "children" in that era had little to no regard for the psychological well-being of their young audience. Yet, we all watched, sometimes over and over again, and it warped us permanently. Since we are gluttons for this kind of punishment, we subject ourselves to several painful 80s clips this week. Listen and discuss!

Download CHERRY SPITZ PODCAST 7/1/09 and share our pain!



This podcast features the following Cherry Spitz members: James Stebick, Eric Wargo, Lars Hansen, and Tim Gale.

As an added note, we would also like to state at this time that we saved the most disturbing 80s kids movie for next weeks podcast. However, we would like to see if you can guess what we have planned. Send us a comment and take a guess. You might win a shiny new prize if you do.

If you like this podcast or have comments for us, hit us up with a reply. Or just think positive mental thoughts to better protect us from our Galactic Lord Xenu. Wait, sorry, that was the Thetans talking.

Until next time, chiiiiiildren!
